About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) is conducting market research for the Naval Foundry & Propeller Center (NFPC) to identify alternative binder systems that can be utilized during their daily operations. NFPC currently uses Lino-Cure, an alkyd-oil three-part binder system, and is seeking information on other binder systems that may meet their needs. Respondents are asked to provide safety data sheets, details on the number of parts in their binder system, the workable time and cure time, and information on product expansion/contraction during curing. Respondents should also indicate whether their binder requires gas purging, contains any combustible constituents or environmental concerns, and if the current mixing machine setup would need to be replaced.

This is a pre-solicitation notice, and there is no set-aside designation. The main NAICS code is likely 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing) and the PSC code is likely 6850 (Miscellaneous Chemical Specialties). There is no information provided on potential incumbents, award values, or budget ranges. The key dates are the response due date of April 19, 2024.
